Your Dog’s Social Network

Article published in Dogs Life Magazine Nov/Dec 2012

Proper socialisation will help your dog learn to cope with anything life throws at him, writes Kate Potter.

Just like any other type of training, socialisation — exposing your four-legged friend to a wide range of situations, settings, animals and people — is something that is best started in puppyhood and continually practised throughout a dog’s life. Continue reading→

Stop Dog Barking

Most of us like having a dog that barks when strangers approach our homes, but what happens when your dog barks non-stop and for no reason?

Being the owner of a dog that barks excessively is a sure-fire way to find yourself out of favour with your neighbours. Not only that, if your dog is disturbing the peace and quiet, you may be faced with warnings and fines from your local council. Continue reading→

Chino is loving his new training. People popped in yesterday and he was much better and behaved in a way that made us so proud of him!

Chino responded well and we saw results in the first lesson. We are happy with the simple and effective dog training techniques used by Sherlock Bones and we also found the whole training experience relaxed and interesting.

My dog usually barks at any one coming into the house, but Lilli accepted Sam like family, which really surprised me. I would recommend Sherlock Bones home dog training to any friends or family.

The Life time guarantee is really good, the fact that your willing to back your own word up shows how confident you are which makes us feel confident as well which is great. We found Sam very professional in all areas in his field and we felt comfortable with him in our house. Love your work Sam! Cheers.

With great thanks and appreciation to Sherlock Bones from the team at HydroDog South Australia.

Our franchisees deal with dogs on a daily basis and Sam came to one of our meeting to give a lecture on dog safety.

We believe in on going support with our franchise and if each of the operators learnt at least one thing from the lecture, then it was well worth it.

I personally have worked with dogs for 6 years now. I know that I have become quite complacent in dealing with dogs and Sam's lecture certainly taught me a thing or two.

Keep up the great work Sam and we look forward to our future dealings with Sherlock Bones.

As our business grows we will get you out again to teach our new comers as to what to watch out for and give our current people a reminder as to how dangerous dogs can be.

Thanks again

We had a long list of problems with Cain , basically he was uncontrollable. We went to Puppy pre-school and he was just out of control right from getting him out of the car to trying to socialise him with the other dogs. The one on one dog training with Sherlock Bones has been the only thing able to help him. After the first session he started to come when called and we were able to start addressing the problems we were having with him.

To achieve results so quickly gives the encouragement to continue and purse. I had basic knowledge of what to do but wasn’t putting it together properly. The personal dog training I received made all the difference. I was very surprised with the quick results just sorry I didn’t start much earlier. Nothing shown to me is remotely harmful to my dogs. Yes when you see results during the first session you can’t help but enjoy it.
